thing especially noticeable was the improve
ment made, the later performances very far
exceeding the first efforts Miss Hatcher in
all her characters has besn a genera favor
ite, as has also that most genial gentlem an ,
Mr.. George Paxton. Pretty little Anna Fer
ril made many admirers, and Miss May
Smith lost none of her former conquests-
Messrs. Harteman and Amsbury and Misses
Arnold and Maris, while not so long with
the company, nevertheless were well receiv-
ed by their audiences.

thusiasm shown during the performance has
never been equalled here. Mr. E. 7. Stetson
as John Woodford carried the sympathies OF
the audience throughout the entire play.
His acting is strong and passionate, and in
the first act was loudly applouded in scene
with his sweetheart when he learns that she
loves another. Miss Hannie NJ. Ingham as

THE SCHOOL BUILDING SITE.

The members of the building committee of
on their hands. They have been working
for some days upon the problem of locating
another school building but the question as
yet is not definitely settled.
More than one building it seems, is really
needed, but the board is desirous of taking
the city through next year with but one more
building.
Three points were decided upon, and it was
thought that the final selection would be
from those. They were corner Kellogg and
Pattie, corner Cleveland and Wabash, corner
Dawrence and Sixteenth street. About the
time the committee had decided to select
from the above mentioned a new phase of the
question presented itself.
Some of the citizens north are very anxi-
GUS to get new building in their neighbor-
hood, claiming that the school population is
there increasing with remarkable rapidity
That one phenomenon causes them to view
the question with interest They have Of
fered to assist the city in erecting a
building in that section. Ii their induce
ments are sufficient the board will probably
erect building in that section and another
at some other point That will cause two
school buildings to be erected this summer.
IL the one being under consideration UP
north is erected that will in all probability
cause the proposed site up north to be aban-
doned and the contest will lay between the
corner of Kellogg street and Pattie avenue
nd the corner OF Cleveland and Wabash
avenues. The committee is anxious to have
mence work at an early date.

Some weeks ago q number of capitalists
from New York were in the city and after
taking in the metropolis to some extent, con-
cfuded to invest They bought considerable
property in the city limits and have since
sold the same, receiving handsome profits.
They were wired offers by their agents and
concludsd to revisit the city and attend to
business matters.
At their former visit they fell into the
hands of sly agent or rather curber who
worked, it seems, cute tricks for an office.
He invited them into his carriag and showed
them snap. The snap was farm in the
northeast part of the city; said to be located
and it was a very nice farm around there,
to be sure, and joining additions in which
buildings were going up at true wichita
gait. The farm was introduced to the capI-
talists as snap and when it had been thor
oughly inspected by the gentlemen they also
pronounced it a snap. As q result 1t was
bought at the figure, $4,000, and $4,000
cash in hand, with the balance due III year.
When the gentlemen made their second
visit they went out and looked at their farm.
The buildings had almost reached it and ev-
erything looked that they had caught a
sucker mapping ard took him. Surveyors
were engaged to plat the same SO it could be
sold out in small slices. The surveyors went
to work as instructed and very soon were
halted by a surly gentleman who very
affirmatively inquired their intentions. They
explained themselves that they had been
hired by SO and so to plat that farm for town
lots He Indignantly told them that they
were working on his farm and not that OF
Mr.. so and so.
The assertion was reported to the supposed
owners and but short investigation showed
that the farm bought by them was located
about two and one-half miles east of the one
they thought they had bought.
The revelation caused small earthquake
among the capitalists and it very soon spread
to the Office that had done the dirt. The
$4,000 of course had been taken care of and
the former owner and agents thought, OF
course, that it was still snap. The buyers
were not of that opinion and not being able
to get their money back have entered suit
hoping to bring curber and the entire gang
of sharks to Justice.
